The Chicano Movement In Texas - NHD Documentary

- Опубликовано: 1 июл 2018
- The story of the Chicano Movement is a rich and important one. But one that sadly does not get as much credit as it deserves.
I don't usually make docs but my love for cinema makes me enjoy all film mediums, so I will experiment with it as a genre and medium now and in the future. This is the first Documentary I've ever made. It was for history fair and got first place at the Regional Competition.
I make original, creative and funny short films on this channel:

Sotomayor is Boricua. Not Mexican‐American. You need to change that. Great video.
@DANA ORDONEZ SANCHEZ but we need more. Mexican-Americans are 11% of the US population. That's a lot.
Agreed
@@elguapo90 the complaint is about the factual accuracy of your statement. Your response is a red herring to the comment. I as a Mexican-American would not racially appropriate sotomayor's accomplishments. She is Puerto Rican.
@@needisaymoore2138 what? You're confused. The comment I was responding to has been deleted
I live in Texas just graduated high school and not one time in history or social studies class did they ever mention the Chicano movement, but as a proud Chicano who wants to be the voice for la raza I didn’t stay silent every moment I got I would talk about the great history of la raza , the Chicano youth today needs to inform everyone about Chicano history cause the education system doesn’t care too talk about it . Viva la raza , brown pride, and Chicano power forever ✊🏽
Thats crazy because i was born and raised in Southern California, and the schools I attended talked about the chicano movements and even asian american history. I have been living in Texas for a few years now... very different.
I went to school in Los Angeles and the only thing I learned about our culture was Cesar Chavez and the white washed version of the Mexican American War. My husband learned the same things and he went to school in the suburbs of Upland. Now my daughter is experiencing the same thing at her school.
Funny, this is what the Mexican society does to indigenous people to assimilate everyone into being MESTIZO .
@@PalomaNegra873 your daughter is experiencing the same thing because schools are run by democrats and this history, when revealed, makes the Democratic Party look bad. So it’s hidden. Lincoln was a Republican. The KKK was popular in Democratic strongholds. This must be hidden so hispanics keep voting for the liberal party. It’s sad 😢……
same. I’m from south Texas and growing up in the 90s I still wasn’t allowed to speak Spanish in school. I never learned about the Chicano movement either. I learned from researching on my own
VÍVAAA LA RAZA SIEMPRE!!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
LOVE TO ALL MY CHICANAS AND CHICANOS💚
Vote in Texas 2024 elections..
That last statement by interviewee was very powerful. It is true, others know a lot about their movements but us, we are blind, suffer amnesia and generally excluded from the mainstream narrative of the US.
I’m now going into 9th grade and I knew nothing about the Chicano history but I know all about the whites and blacks history 🤦♀️ why doesn’t america teach me about MY HISTORY
@@Lesli_gt curriculum is approved by the state and local school boards. Some schools might have an ethnic study requirement. You might approach the social studies/history teacher and ask if an extend lesson can be spent examining the Chicano politic -- school walkouts, Vietnam moratorium, La Raza Unida Party, Brown Berets, Crusade for Justice, etc. Many colleges offer Chicano studies courses and even academic majors -- a victory of the Chicano Movement. G/L to you in your studies.
DESTROY ZEBRA APARTHEID.
The discriminatory practice of blacks and whites including themselves in all forms of media (to the exclusion of Hispanics Asians people from the Middle East Native Americans). Movies television shows game shows commercials etc.
This zebra apartheid programming elevates the status and importance of blacks and whites to the exclusion of every other minority.
Hispanics have also died at the hands of police but there is not this obsessive sick chronic attention.
We die it's a boring side story and who cares.
there is not just White privilege there is also black privilege.
Destroy zebra apartheid
The lives of Hispanic Americans are just as important and precious as the lives of blacks or whites.
DESTROY ZEBRA APARTHEID
PLEASE FORWARD THIS POST
exactly. It's up to us to keep the Chicano movement and culture strong for today and the future.
One of my elders once said when they were young they heard a couple of white guys talking. Managers at the place he worked at. This was in the 60’s and he heard them say that “We don’t ever need to do anything about the chicano movement or the people. They are their own worst enemy. They will do the job for us by bringing each other down.”
Am proud to be a chicana! ✊🏼
I’m
What have you done to earn it?
What a statement.
I am a brown beret. And it is sad that you didn't mention about the Brown Berets.
Brown Berets are legends they definitely deserve to be mentioned. SALUDE ❤
Looking into our history to teach my children. I had a middle school teacher who tried his hardest to teach us. He would do the lessons and then start off on Hispanic culture and history. Idk where he is now but i hope he is still teaching cause after that class... I never had any mexican history taught. He even encouraged the walk out. We walked out and there was cops on the other side which made us go back to school. We wanted more change in our school
*Mexican culture. Hispanic culture is from Spain. I hope he wasn’t teaching some whitewash garbage.
chicano power forever!
The fight is not over
Proud Tejano right here. Ya sabes raza...Puro 956 Browntown Tx 956
So you don't like the other Americans and the establishment.
From 956 valley originally..family moved to Del Valle tx.(Austin) very racist in'69-70..all teachers&principal's had germanic surnames. They hated mexicans&blacks. After 4 years@Del Valle isd..dad moved us to Raymondville tx. isd..70's..just as bad..if not worse..highly racial..against hispanics..principal was a nazi-type w/ of course.. A germanic surname!!
In
I was born there 🎉❤😊
When I was younger my mother would always tell me “we’re Chicanos, we’re not hispanic. Don’t ever call yourself hispanic and if someone asks you what your ethnicity is you tell them your Chicano.” I have light skin but a thick tongue. I’m the one you least suspect but damn it, do not call me white or hispanic because I’m Chicano!
in New Mexico , most of us have spanish roots from the conquistadors , Spanish men had kids with native women . Our spanish in Nuevo Mexico is very unique , as is our culture. Onate came back to N.M with people from Zacatecas . Pancho Villa has descendants in Southern NM. This mix of blood is hispanic blood and we Nuevo Mexicanos are very proud to be hispanic.
If you from Texas you ain’t chicano your a tejano idiot chicano is from Cali Texas was Mexico that makes you a tejano chicano is not a race either it’s just a nickname for Mexicans who live over the border on the USA side we are Raza which includes the ones from Mexico and Latin America
I'm one of those 7 generations Mexican American Chicano viva la Raza SOMOS chingos
That’s awesome still 100% Chicano after 7 generations? 🧐
There are very few Chicanos that go even three generations at minimum. Yours is seldom.
I’m drying reading this my family is still indigenous 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
@@chicagolandnation635 I’m fourth generation. Everyone is Mexican in my family 😅 no body really dates out of the race. I’m one of the first in my family that has kids that are of mixed race. My grandma was Mexican and so my grandpa my mom my dad and so on and so on. My family is from Southern California so there’s plenty of chicanos there lol
@@SuperRip7 not exactly true I’m fourth generation. I did my ancestory and it’s verified 😂 I’m one of those families where the border actually was made while my ancestors were already here
I never ever wanted to fight this political war. I was drawn into it in the 80's. But, for all its worth, a Chicano needs. To show humility now that things are moving this fast!. We are the ones responsible for the well-being of not only Black African Americans and Whites. But, also of our own. Burritos will give all of you heartburn
incredible:) watching this before submitting my own project
Some Tejas politics had positive influence on Colorado. Gracias Gutierez for your hard work & stamina. Yes I do agree that the momentum got lost. Had we all kept united and strong and not fall for any diverting tactics made along the way by racist & discriminatory systems we would kept stronger. We could look back to learn and build to try to keep strong otra vez. Siempre que Viva la Raza!
So you believe in this type of racial superiority?
Need a Tejas politics voting block...
Anybody in these comments that’s able to recommend books on the Chicano movement feel free to drop the name and author. Trying to start a thread on these videos to help educate each other on what our Raza has been through. Peace yall. From Compton, CA 🙏🏼
This books are recommended by my Ethnic Studies Professors..
1. De Colores means to All of Us by Elizabeth Martinez
2. Ocupied America By Rodolfo F Acuña
Aztlán- Anthology of Chicano Literature
🇲🇽 🔄 🇺🇸 to be chicano is always to march
ahead wisely even through tyrants and whirlwinds ☺ ♠
great video, I am using it for a sociology project! Thank you!
We can’t stop marching, I say we continue raising our voices and not let the movement die. I can march in CHICAGO, IL. We need a significant date.
THAT'S FN RIGHT RAZA...NEVER FORGET, WE NEVER FN CROSSED THE BORDER, THE BORDER CROSSED US....VIVA AZTLAN, VÍVAAA MEXICA Y VIVAAA MEXICOO!!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
more people needa watch dis
Some of the comments on this video are disturbing.
There is no zebra apartheid.
Without question there are ignorant so-called black who, like some Chicano peoples, do not know the whole story between Chicanos and blacks.
I am a child of the late 60’ and 70’s. I know who I befriended, I know who had my back, and I know who is my family. Yes, that includes Chicano peoples.
Chicano neighborhoods were the only place blacks immigrating from the south could live. To my knowledge Chicano families were welcoming. How do I know...because I lived the experience. My friends, my classmates, my teammates, etc. was made up of a few Asians, blacks, Chicanos, and a few white kids.
Let’s not get caught up in the BS and nonsense perpetrated by fools on either side and the media.
The bottom line - White supremacist don’t want use to connect or team up like our people did in the past to achieve productive results. So be smart...think for yourself and question authority!
@Lykn Del Toro Let’s assume that hat you are saying is true. Please explain why so many so-called blacks and Chicano peoples are family (related by blood), friends, and close neighbors?
Don’t confuse BS in a few neighborhoods as representing the whole.
Blacks and Chicano peoples strove together to forces positive changes in labor law, educations, etc. Fools will always find a way to focus on negative crap. Men work together to bring about positive changes and good tidings.
Which one are you?
@Lykn Del Toro - I commented because I had something positive to say.
When the LAPD dropped my and my friend off in the middle of the night in Boyle Heights, which was/is controlled by White Fence, they assumed we would get out asses whooped. Nope…the brothers came out of their homes and asked us if we were alright. They invited us into their homes, fed us, and allows us to use their telephone to our families to come get us.
Honor and respect at the highest level.
I could share with you a number of stories that may or may. Not fit your narrative. And, whether you accept what I say as truth or not…or choose to live a life wasted on hate is your own problem. I know what I know because I lived it and experience it this day.
My brother is married to a Chicana as are several cousins,, and a couple of female family members are married to Chino men. We are not alone..:there are a large number of families across Los Angeles Counties.
I wish you well
@Lykn Del Toro www.lataco.com/street-vendor-attack-videos/
There will always be problems between families and strangers. Human beings are just human. Problem children exist in all families. It is just the way it is...There is no war between so-called black and so-called brown. The divide and conquer madness has been used to destroy people the world over. The foolish within every nation of people on the planet fall for the same tricks and traps over and over again. It's take to wake up.
I hope you learn to see past the BS that is blinding your vision and corrupting your thoughts.
Intresting
I will NOT FORGET my HISTORY, my ROOTS, my CULTURE, & neither will my son🇲🇽🇵🇪💙
🗣️Si Se Puede
VIVA MI RAZA
So you don't like Americans.
@@SuperRip7It isnt a one dimensional perception. Liking the color red doesnt mean u cant like the color blue. being proud of your heritage doesnt nullify being patriotic about USA. I grew up celebrating 4th of july, i would see many of ppl jst like me running down the streets with dynamic rockets. The one thing that will always unite us is chasing the american dream
HOLY TURTLE ISLAND 🌎..WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE 💰
1974. Downey California. Middle school 6th to 9th grade. I had two great friends Calvin Chung and Steve Kawasaki which i defended and protected from the white kids who picked on them. I was invested to Calvin chung restaurants and ate like a king and Steve Kawasaki, I learned judo and kendo. the police would say, they’re kids are not a gang, they are Hawaiian…. Than you Downey California ❤❤❤❤. Downey library
did this make it to nationals
Old San Anto Tejas
What did he say at the end"...we don't even know what ki-" I felt like it was a good quote but can't make out the last part.
yeah me too I wish I knew 😢
This video is so good,/,,;'[-=
Justice Sotomayor is not Mexican. Her parents were from P.R. just to be clear
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sotomayor is not Mexican-American!!!! She's Rican.
Chicanoism is a movement started by Mexican Americans. It's evolved to include people of Latino dispora who've been effected by white supremacy.
Chicanismo is a universal, thus anyone sharing the same values of establishing unity, seeking justice and ensuring equality can be Chicano.
@@FresnoBrownBerets- The narrator stated that Sotomayor is Mexican-American not Chicana. My comment has nothing to do with Chicanismo. This is a cool video but the narrator clearly erred in presenting Sotomayor as Mexcian-American.
@@erinbearr2468 The narrator stated that Sotomayor is Mexican-American not Chicana. My comment has nothing to do with Chicanismo. This is a cool video but the narrator clearly erred in presenting Sotomayor as Mexcian-American.
@@erinbearr2468 that’s a damn shame, cuz it should only be Mexicans and Mexicans first, we number the most here out of all Latinos, who the fuck cares about the others, they don’t care about us, in fact they envy us.
When it looks like it was made in 2015
9:30, What if I don’t care about my history outside this country that much?
PALABRA
But the definition dose not defend your first definition
Chicano means red children of the earth.
Chicano are natives.
The real documentary on Chicano identity is Selena and blood in blood out .
This comment has to be one of the the most embarrassing comments, if not the most, on the internet. Blood in blood out is one of the most embarrassing movies.
Hola hello everyone I'm trying to get the word out about a Mexican American name Tim Sanchez his running for Congress if he wins he will be the first Chicano to represent Oakland CA in Congress he has a website so if anybody can Donate please Do thank you gracias
Eye opinión personal this it's hitory to us mexican comunity nothing helping to ready mexican huston texas it's mexico landing not europe 17 agos 2022 politicaly congres
I honestly didn’t learn anything
Más pu!!!
That’s not what Chicano means.
Why do Chicanos use "Aztlan" or the term Aztec? This is the national rederic of MESTIZOs in Mexico. Meaning, it's the systematic process to replace the indigenous people or to assimilate them.
Aztlan is where the Mexikah race was born...from the 7caves of chicomostoc... somewhere around the 4 corners area ...what we know today around Utah and Nevada area....from their they migrated south and founded Tenochtilan... present day Mexico city... they followed the eagle that lead them there...when the eagle 🦅 landed on the cactus w a snake in it's mouth that's where they were to make this city...those people became the Aztecs... Others went further south to the Yucatan and became the Mayans and Olmecs...Toltecs etc...7different tribes... before the Spanish invaded and destroyed most of it...it's a deep story once you research it.
Because mestizos are inherently also party Amerindian and many more of us embrace our Amerindian sides. Stop trying to divide us you won’t win 😐
@@razacosmicapilled sure...then why are MESTIZOs so racist towards native people and blacks in Mexico? RUclips: mexico racismo en El Pais del mestizaje.
@@mixtecjaguar9824 I’ve never even heard of mestizos being racist to amerindians from only castizos and more euro people. And for the black part it’s because they’re black. Mestizos own Mexico they can be racists towards black if we want. Who would stop us ⚡️
@@razacosmicapilled of course you don't know, most MESTIZOs don't think of themselves as perpetrators. RUclips: racism in Mexico/latin America.
Most Mexican Americans living in Texas do not speak English. When you living in a border state, when you live in a mono-cultural society, and when you live in a place in which apathy of English is plentiful and exposure to Mexican culture is normal, even in schools, then the results are going to very uneven. I am not talking about just carrying a conversation. I am talking about functioning on parity with average native-speakers of English at the minimum. This explains why Mexican Americans in the state are not confident in their English enough to choose lifetime careers in which Spanish is the main language. So tell me what you think.
Another colonizers talking about our culture.
